Ingredients

• 500 gms (1.11 lbs) beef sirloin
• 120 mls (0.5 cup) soy sauce
• 60 mls (0.25 cup) mirin
• 2 tbsps sake
• 2 tbsps sugar
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 480 mls (2 cups) white rice
• 960 mls (4 cups) water
• 3 tbsps miso paste
• 200 gms (0.44 lb) tofu
• 2 green onions
• 960 mls (4 cups) dashi

Instructions

1. Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the beef and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or a pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then simmer covered until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
4. In a pot, bring the dashi to a boil. Lower the heat and dissolve the miso paste in the dashi. Add cubed tofu and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Chop green onions and add to the soup just before serving.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and cook in the skillet, stirring often, until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Serve the teriyaki beef over steamed rice with a side of miso soup.
